My quest to build a solidoodle 3 "airtight" Case! (Page 2 of 2)

I certainly commend you on the plywood case that you are building.  That is quite thorough!  I also built a semi-air tight enclosure that's been working pretty well.  Instead of trying to explain it, just watch this video  http://youtu.be/GCMen4MvYOY.  I also uploaded my STLs to http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:181511

It's a simple design which still allows easy access and visibility.

a bit like mine

So if my Power supply is 30A where do I find the propper conections for the rated amps. Here they go up to 16A

Took some reference pics that may be useful to someone someday.
Stock SD 3 heating pad.

My SD3 Control board

Plexiglass and hinge arrived. Got my QU-BD installed last night and ran a test print. Do I need to adjust anything in the firmware for the QUBD? It seemed to work ok last night.

This one is cheaper (which might mean it doesn't work as well, of course)

looks good
suggestion though - might want to rubber-gasket mount those case-screws for the fans - or use some of the rubber 'stopper' ones case-modders use. Reason I suggest is - they will at various points in life I have no doubt cause vibrations due to oscilliations (as the blades get a little dirty/unbalanced) resulting in the wood panel resonating quite nicely Even cardboard against my stock case with my 50mm fan running + my extruder fans causes a notable resonance when its resting right against it... drives you bonkers I tells you after a few hours

That or use 'speaker gasket goo' (radioshack) as used by speaker-box-builders to provide a rubbery-gasket on the fan->wood interface.

If it is good enough to make working with lead-free solder and companion flux - then it'll be more than a great filter here.

(The switch from Leaded Solder to Lead-Free RoHS stuff, whilst 'kinder to the environment', in the same vein as Unleaded Gasoline,  is also, just like unleaded gasoline compared to leaded gasoline, far far more carcinogenic than the 'nasty to the environment' stuff.. So we are saving the Tree's - just killing ourselves faster and in new and interesting ways in the process )

Just a random thought whilst shopping for some bits on fleabay.

TEST PHASE ALPHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
